Slasher and Zombie Alert: "Scare-A-Cuse" is coming to the Turning Stone

Nobody will recognize them, but the original masked actors behind two of Hollywood's most prolific slashers -- Michael Meyers of "Halloween" and Jason Voorhees of "Friday the 13th" -- will be among the celebrities to hobnob with fans Sept. 13-16 during the Turning Stone Resort & Casino's "Scare-A-Cuse" convention.

The pair -- Tony Moran (Michael) and Ari Lehman (Jason) -- will appear along with ghost hunters, scream queens, vampires, genetic mutations and, of course, the current horror trend -- zombies. Many will be the fans themselves. The convention encourages folks to dress as their favorite horror or sci-fi characters.

"Costuming is a fun part of these events," promoter J.V. Johnson said. "The parties and socializing are more exciting because of it."

Themed events will be held throughout the four-day festival. For example, Saturday night features a zombie bash. And no shock here: The celebrities will be available to sign autographs, pose for pictures and sell merchandise.

"This is where collectibles, and heirlooms are generated," Johnson said. "This may be the one and only chance to rub shoulders with some pretty cool people from movies and television."
